When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
or faster (19 mph or faster), and indicates a recommended distance to maintain between the
vehicles. Furthermore, if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than the
appropriate distance to maintain between the vehicles, the vehicle-ahead indication in the
active driving display is fl ashed to advise the driver to keep a safer distance from the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
notifi es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and
brake pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the
safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
NOTE
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of the following
conditions are met:
 


 The ignition is switched ON. 

 The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.



 The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).



 The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster). 

 The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles. 
 The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may not operate normally under
the following conditions:
 


 The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.



 The vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely slow speed. 

 The system does not operate with the following objects:




 Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.



 Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)

Air-Conditioning System
Operating Tips
 












 Operate the air-conditioning system with
the engine running.
 


 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with the
ignition switched ON when the engine is
not running.
 


(With i-stop)
 The airfl ow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.
 


 Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the bonnet and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system effi ciency.




 Use the air-conditioning system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
 


 The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffi c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 


 Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
 


 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the air-conditioning system.
 


 Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
 


 Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
effi cient.

 The refrigerant specifi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refi lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
  For details, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
